What is the chromosome number in human ovum?
  1. a.36
  2. b.46
  3. c.48
  4. d.None of the above

Answer: (D) None of the above

A human ovum (egg cell) is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes — not 46, 36, or 48. The answer is 'None of the above' because 23 is not among the listed options. Somatic (body) cells are diploid with 46 chromosomes; gametes (egg and sperm) have half that number through meiosis.
